How Pure + Kiwi Began

When I moved from New Zealand to New York, I never imagined I’d one day create a skincare brand inspired by my homeland’s healing botanicals. In 2016, after my daughter was born, she developed severe eczema - her delicate skin was red, itchy, and painfully dry. Medications helped, but I longed for something gentler and natural that could truly comfort her skin.

I couldn’t find skincare both gentle and effective enough for her delicate skin, so I turned to what I knew best - New Zealand’s native botanicals. My first creation, a Manuka Honey cream, soothed her flare-ups and became our family’s go-to for rashes, irritation, and everyday healing.

That small act of love grew into Pure + Kiwi - skincare made for sensitive, reactive, and eczema-prone skin. Our hero formula, Rescue Body Butter, carries that same spirit: a barrier-repairing blend of Manuka Honey, Colloidal Oatmeal, and Shea Butter that calms, repairs, and restores balance - naturally.

Because every family deserves gentle, effective skincare that truly heals.
